closed chamber the used, stale orlfoul air. The presentinvention involves the identical principle of heating and ventilation set out4 inmy'said aforesaid applicatiomand includes structural Jfeatures whereby either one'or two roomsor closed ychambers, may beiheated and ventilated simultaneously or separately.

The invention consists of a heating and Ventilating .deviceadaptedto be placed in a wall dividing two rooms or 4chambers whereby both may-be heated simultaneously or-eitherimay be heated independently of the other, -the heating vand Ventilating-'device having adirectconnection withthe outside air,-and a stackfor' carrying oi l.the gases of combustion from fuel used in heating the incoming air ande also-for carrying ott from the rooms'sor chambers the used orlfoul air.

.A preferred Aform of embodiment 'of i the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings-in which ig. l-is a front view,partly` sectioned to illustrate interior construction, and

Fig. A2 isfa Ivertical section on line 2 2 Fig. 1 showingv myimproved heating'- device as applied. in a partition wall whichdivides two-chambers org'rooms. v

Referring particularly to the form of embodiment of the inventionfillustrated, 1 designates a substantially rectangular heating chamber whichis larranged to extendb'elow vtheltloor v2 of abuilding,; andv which isprovided with .openings 3 for leading thereinto y the outside air,` preferably through a conduit 4f whichis open to 'theoutside Vithin said heating chamber "1 and spaced from .the walls and bottom thereof is la combustion 6 for the passage thereinto'of a portion of it'into a closed chamber that is to be heated and simultaneously withdrawing from such chamber 5, which is openat thebottomf as at the outside Iair'. Tvlvithinfsaid combustion chamber 5 is a burner for a gaseous lfuel,

Vwhich Ais supplied thereto through pipef8.

Heated comlnist-ion` gases pass from the combustion chamber into ak plurality of 'lues recaen:

f5 f f I 9a and 9b, Vwhich are'spaced from each other v and which are upstanding vand rise above the floor level. The outer lues,to wit`921 are, as' shown, larger thanthe intermediate llues v9? and are in open communication' and foonnected with a'horizontal flue y10, presently to'be described. The shorterflues 9"l are closed at their upper ends, andare connected with each other and with thelongerfinest)a by short pipes 11, through which communicati-onwith all the lues79a and 9b is established and through which the-hot gases-of combustionl freely circulate. vThe shorter tubes orues 9b terminate underneath l.and in line with the-horizontal iuef 10. 4lThe heating chamber 1 isvtormed withlop'posedupstanding side walls 11 and 11, theedges of which are at an angle tothe vertical and v p mentality oflshutters. 13 v`and 1'3" pivotallycarried. inA said respective covers 12 ,andfl12,r

which :at the top are arrangedto lie against therespective walls Gland D-of adjoining chambers, and-'at the. bottom areotwaidly and downwardly turned, as 4at 12 'and 127 to provideV vertical .shoulders'to .prevent sweepings and other [foreign matters` from" entering the -foul or staler air chambefor passageway. These shutters, are control'- lable as desired to regulatethe'temperature ofthe chambers in whi'chthe heating device is disposed, and obviously-allfthe'heatlnay be 'diverted to one room or the other, Io'r both'chambers Vmay receive heat from-the device in quantity as needed.

noy

The substantially rectangular yheating-v chamber 1, as stated, extends below ytheiloc'n level 2 and theupper `front walls landl" are outwardlybent and terminate onajline substantially coincident with thel'ang'ularly disposed walls 11 and "11', vand abovethe vHoor level 2, for a short distance," shown heating chamber 1 is entirely surrounded.

by a substantially -rectangular enclosure 14, whichis spaced from said heating chamber 1,v and which is vprovided at the respective fronts thereof with outwardly yextended flanges 14 and 14 for engaging theiloor 2 of a building, whereby such enclosure 14j, and the heating chamber 1, contained therein, with` its complementary lparts -hereinbefore described, may be supported. The enclosure 14,'which, as stated, is spaced from the heating chamber 1, provides all around said heating chamber l, at the bottom a pas` sageway X, for used, stale or oulair, which under stack energy isY drawn thereinto through openings 15 and 16 respectively provided in said covers 12 and 12. Flues 1'? andrlS communicate directly with said `en-r closure 14 and rise vertically onY each side of said heating chamber 1.` At the top, these lues17 and 18 are connected to the horizontal flues 10, fthe bottom of which llue 10 is provided by pa plate 190i' greater width thanv said `horizontal liue 10- andvertical iluesl and 18, andwhich plate 19 is upturned at the edges as at 19 to ,provide a tight alinement for the respective wall faces C and D, between which the heating device is arranged to beldisposed. rl"he horizontal flue 10 is provided in the top thereof with a gas .and air outlet 10', and upon said flue 10 is arranged to be placed a stack 20, preferably forA interfitting engagement therewith and arranged to lead gases and air to the outside. The horizontal iiue 10 is in direct communication with said vertical flues 17 and 18 leading from the enclosure 14, and also with the lues 9a and 9bV leading `from theV combustion Lchamber 5, and hence the combustion gases and used or stale air'areremoved simultaneously from the chamber or chambers, while the incoming .air heated by contact with the combustion chamber 5' and theues Qa'and 9b are controllably directed by manipulation of the shutters 13 to either one chamber or another, or to both chambers.

`Therebya constant replacement of heated fresh air,.and a constant removal of used or stale air and combustion ,gases is continuouslyy effected. v Y
